From reproductive rights to climate change to Big Tech, The Independent is on the ground when the story is developing. Whether it's investigating the financials of Elon Musk's pro-Trump PAC or producing our latest documentary, 'The A Word', which shines a light on the American women fighting for reproductive rights, we know how important it is to parse out the facts from the messaging.
At such a critical moment in US history, we need reporters on the ground. Your donation allows us to keep sending journalists to speak to both sides of the story.
The Independent is trusted by Americans across the entire political spectrum. And unlike many other quality news outlets, we choose not to lock Americans out of our reporting and analysis with paywalls. We believe quality journalism should be available to everyone, paid for by those who can afford it.
Your support makes all the difference.The golden age of Hollywood is given the full treatment in Kerry Jamieson's entertaining story of a group of Warner Brother starlets caught up in the studio system.
In a house on Lantana Drive, young actresses Charlotte, Bee and Ivy are waiting to hear if they've landed the leading part in David O Selznick's upcoming epic, The Walls of Jericho. It's the break they've all been waiting for, but one of the girls is concealing a secret that the screen test has failed to pick up.
A confident and engaging storyteller, Jamieson, who is herself a screenwriter, evokes life in 1930s Los Angeles with style. Telling period detail and snappy dialogue adds to the novel's allure. Fans of The Artist will be able to enjoy catching up on life in the motion picture business ten years on.
